Akonadi is worse than "personal information service", but the latter=20
still is part of a domain specific language most users won't understand.

In my experience nobody knows what "personal information" is supposed to=20
be. Quite frankly, if I wouldn't know what "personal information" (in=20
the context of PIM) means I'd read it as "information about my person".=20
Maybe that's a language barrier thing.

(FWIW, Wikipedia doesn't have an entry for "personal information" which=20
IMHO is a good indicator for a term that is not a widely known.)

Unfortunately, I don't know a better term. :-(
